Chilling followed by incubation at 37°C causes a reduction in NAD+ levels which can be prevented by the poly(ADP‐ribose)transferase inhibitor 3‐aminobenzamide [PDF]
The exposure of cells for 60 min to a serum free medium at ice temperature followed by a return to normal culture conditions (30 min at 37°C) caused a dramatic decrease in NAD+ levels. This decrease in NAD+ was prevented by 3‐aminobenzamide. Alkaline elution analysis of DNA from cultures that were sisters to the ones utilized for measuring cellular NAD+

Basal and adaptive β-cell regeneration capacity declines with old age, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is considered a multifunctional enzyme and transcription factor that regulates pancreatic β-cell death, regeneration and insulin secretion.

Destabilization of Zn2+ coordination in ADP‐ribose transferase (polymerizing) by 6‐nitroso‐1,2‐benzopyrone coincidental with inactivation of the polymerase but not the DNA binding function [PDF]
6‐Nitroso‐ 1,2‐benzopyrone, an oxidation product of 6‐amino‐ 1,2‐benzopyrone, binds to the DNA‐recognizing domain of the ADP‐ribose transferase protein and preferentially destabilizes Zn2+ from one of the two zinc finger polypeptide complexes present in the intact enzyme, as determined by the loss of 50% of 65Zn2+ from the 65Zn2+‐isolated protein ...

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities
ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to

ABSTRACT We present the first x‐ray crystallographic structural evidence of an archaeal DNA ligase showing the AMP covalent adduct together with further cofactor hydrolysis, capturing a transient intermediary in the first step of the ligation reaction, triggered by the pyrophosphate hydrolysis.

The Multifaceted Role of Rad9 in the DNA Damage Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
ABSTRACT To maintain the integrity of the genome, cells have evolved a complex signalling system, termed the DNA damage response (DDR), which detects DNA damage and promotes DNA repair. To date, over 600 proteins have been identified that play an integral role in the DDR. RAD9, encoding a DDR mediator protein, was the prototypical DNA damage checkpoint

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

Dual action of imeglimin on insulin secretion and sensitivity in type 2 diabetes
Abstract Aims Imeglimin is a novel oral hypoglycemic agent approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Japan, with dual actions to enhance insulin secretion and improve insulin sensitivity, suggested by preclinical evidence. However, the effect of imeglimin on tissue‐specific insulin sensitivity and glucose kinetics using glucose tracers is ...
